IELTS Writing Task 1: 'school buildings' answer 
Here's my full answer for the task below. 
The diagrams below show the site of a school in 2004 and the plan for changes to the school 
site in 2024.
(Source: Official IELTS Practice Materials 2)
The two pictures compare the layout of a school as it was in the year 2004 with a proposed site 
design for the year 2024. 
It is clear that the main change for 2024 involves the addition of a new school building. The school will 
then be able to accommodate a considerably larger number of students. 
In 2004, there were 600 pupils attending the school, and the two school buildings were separated by 
a path running from the main entrance to the sports field. By 2024, it is expected that there will be 
1000 pupils, and a third building will have been constructed. Furthermore, the plan is to join the two 
original buildings together, creating a shorter path that links the buildings only. 
As the third building and a second car park will be built on the site of the original sports field, a new, 
smaller sports field will need to be laid. A new road will also be built from the main entrance to the 
second car park. Finally, no changes will be made to the main entrance and original car park.

IELTS Writing Task 1: 'age distribution' answer 
Here's my full report for the question below. I found this one difficult, so don't worry if you did too! 
The charts below compare the age structure of the populations of France and India in 1984.

The two charts compare the populations of France and India in terms of age distribution by gender in 
the year 1984. 
It is clear that the population of India was younger than that of France in 1984, with a noticeably 
larger proportion of people aged under 20. France, on the other hand, had a significantly larger 
percentage of elderly inhabitants. 
In India, close to 14% of people were aged 5 or under, and each five-year age bracket above this 
contained an increasingly smaller proportion of the population. France’s population, by contrast, was 
more evenly distributed across the age ranges, with similar figures (around 7% to 8% of all people) 
for each five-year cohort between the ages of 0 and 40. Somewhere between 10% and 15% of all 
French people were aged 70 or older, but the equivalent figure for India was only 2%. 
Looking more closely at gender, there was a noticeably higher proportion of French women than men 
in every cohort from age 50 upwards. For example, almost 3% of French 70- to 75-year-olds were 
women, while just under 2% were men. No significant gender differences can be seen on the Indian 
population chart.
